This behaviour has nothing to do with LibreOffice. This behaviour comes from the OS, in your case Windows. Therefore it's not a bug.
@Caolán Would love a small assessment here. LibreOffice running in single container. You can have multiple (say Writer) documents open. And open different dialogs in they different Writer documents. Except issues start to appear when switching screens with dialogs open. Comment 1 suggests this is issue at OS level. I think this an LibreOffice issue As this only occurs with certain dialog combinations. In this case Character Dialog+ Paragraph dialog. But not with Find & Replace in document A and Character Dialog in document B
It is the case that the find and replace dialog is a non-modal dialog, while the others are modal, that might make some sort of difference. I don't see a problem under GNOME but I have no taskbar-alike thing in my desktop.
Testing with Ubuntu 20.04 and LibreOffice 7.2+, I can't reproduce this. I had four windows open, each with their own dialog (chara/para/insert special character/spell checking) and I could switch between any of them.

"Paragraph" modal while "Character" is not. I think that logically this is wrong. Possibly, the modal property should be removed from the "Paragraph" dialog.

(In reply to Natali Eroshenko from comment #6) > repro in ID сборки: 1:6.4.7 - Oubuntu0.20.04.1+ci202105111545+astra3 Потоков Surprised Natali could reproduce on Ubuntu. For me, on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.8, testing in LO 6.4 to 7.5, switching works and both Character and Paragraph dialogs are modal. Also tried with a mix of modal (Paragraph) and non-modal (Find and Replace) and could not reproduce.
